It’s located right in Iowa’s biggest city, Des Moines! A suburban treehouse with two bedrooms and a common area, it’s equipped with heat and other amenities. Only three minutes from Altoona, which has restaurants, attractions, and easy shopping, it still provides all the rustic peace and quiet you’d want from sleeping in an actual tree! While the treehouse can fit five, it’s perfect for a couple that wants a one-of-a-kind romantic getaway.
